Before the flood of 1993 (Mississippi River), the little town of Niota, IL, (pop. about 350), had a bar called the WYE KNOT. My grandparents had a farm at the edge of this tiny town, and visiting them often from age 0 to well into my 30s, we'd drive past this bar, and I thought it such a clever name - (!)

All gone now, however, like many buildings and houses there after the flood, which happened after my grandparents passed on.

My wife has friends who used to live there. Wasn't that the town they government picked up and moved to higher ground?
